I've been focused a lot on career building of late, because it's the focus of a class I'm teaching this fall at Butler University called The Nontraditional Healthcare Professional. So, when I'm deep diving into a topic, I tend to talk about it in multiple means and venues.
Such is the case right now with this topic - of how to best go about hunting for a cool first or new gig. So, I wanted to put all of this inside of one post as a set or kit for you to build your own cool or next gig, using all the channels and means by which I'm discussing this topic right now.

Newer Areas of Pharmacy Practice To Consider
Where is Pharmacy Heading? Based upon the BLS data - I discussed on LinkedIn Live how to interpret the data (note: it's not all gloom and doom).
Entrepreneurship - are we back there yet? Maybe not completely, but many of us have side hustles. (And if you want to blend this with Concierge and Senior Care Pharmacy, you should be part of the day job at ASCP's inaugural BESCPC.) And AND is the new career safe.
